The new meds worked wonderfully! College was amazing! I was eating whatever I wanted and living a normal, healthy life. I forgot the pain, the shame, that I had the disease at all. And I stopped taking the meds.
Not cold turkey, and not really on purpose I suppose. By my senior year I was forgetting to take them in the morning. I was so busy rushing to the high school where I student taught; getting up at 5:30am is a huge adjustment for a college kid!
I tried taking them at night but that fell by the wayside too.
But I was still healthy. Actually I had never felt better. It seemed that my colitis was miraculously cured and now I didn't have to deal with all the awful side effects.
The Ignorance of Youth....
